  Speaker 1: going to do their own.

  Speaker 2: You know.

  Speaker 1: It helps the sales, you know, but will they be

  Speaker 1: is hired for a job in Gotham City that puts
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: him in the crosshairs of the world's greatest detective.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, this looks like they're fighting each other,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: not fighting.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: When superheroes meet. What's the rule when superheroes meet for
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the first time, they have to fight and then and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: then they team. Don't be surprised if the Joker shows up.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I just you know, I got nothing

  Speaker 1: Speaking of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, who's had tremendous success with
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the Deadpool movies, is urging Disney to do an R
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: rated Star Wars. He says, I pitched this to Disney.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Why not do an R rated Star Wars property. It
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be overt A plus characters. There's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: wide range of characters you could use. And I don't
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: mean R rated to be vulgar. Are rated as a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: trojan horse for emotion. I always wondered why studios don't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just want to gamble on something like that. I'm not
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: saying I want to be in it. I'd want to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: produce or right or be a part of behind the scenes,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: but I mean after and or believe, isn't and or adult?

  Speaker 2: movie will happen like that sounds like a pile of money.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: You don't think they'd make a movie.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: No, it would make a pile of money. It wasn't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: too difficult for those two studios. It's getting these it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: getting Warner Brothers and Disney's to sit in a room
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: together longer than ten minutes without stomping out. That's see,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that's they're just where they'd be. Uh. Speaking of Disney
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and their character The Vision. You remember Vision, don't you?

  Speaker 1: Vision will find love I mean Wanda. He had Wanda,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: but she's dead, right? But is anyone really dead? All right? Okay, Uh,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: let's get to the Alex Ross picture. There we go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: This is a This is an artist, comic book artist
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Alex Ross, who's very well known, renown and the reason
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that he is special and different is that he draws
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the comic book characters to look like real people. Uh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, so you can see wrinkles in Spider Man's suit,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you know, things like that. That's how he draws them,

  Speaker 1: Nathan Fillion. Now. Guy Gardner is one of the green
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: lantern cores. Todd. There are many green lanterns, and the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: thing about Guy Gardner is he's a jerk and you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: can always spot him because of his bad haircut. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was gonna say, Todd, you'll appreciate this. He's got that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Al Davis haircut. Yeah. And so they asked him. He says,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: where did you draw upon your characterization of Guy Gardner
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and he says, well, of course the comic books. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I took most of my inspiration from the oldest cast
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: member of the Golden Girls, imblance stell Getty. Sophia Petrillo
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: just said whatever she wanted to say. There was no filter,
• 6:10
